Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the holding device of closure assemblies, particularly the sort of closure assemblies in the capping unit of the machine that is used in packing container.
Particularly, the present invention can be applicable to be designed to hold the material of liquid state, viscosity, creaminess, glue and/or powder consistency and/or the packing of containers of products.
Background technology
Traditionally, lid automatically is applied on the cell therefor, makes these closure assemblies motions to rotate around vertical pivot center by carousel or similar supporting structure through the machine unit that is equipped with a plurality of closure assemblies usually.
In addition, each assembly can rotate around the axes of the vertical axis that is parallel to carousel usually, thereby and can also be on carousel axial motion and carousel integratedly towards or move away from corresponding container.
Each closure assemblies is equipped with corresponding holding device usually; Clamper that these holding devices are normally traditional or allied equipment; When the movable parts that makes closure assemblies rotates, can pick up and keep the spiral lid and its commentaries on classics is screwed on the neck that is provided with screw thread of corresponding container by them.
In general, the holding device of said type has two or more arms, and each arm all is hinged to the bottom of relevant closure assemblies, thus the bare terminal that the pivoting action on swivel pin can causes arm inwards and towards or outwards and away from the pivot center of assembly move.Be clear that inside or outside the moving simultaneously that each arm inside or outside moves with other arm takes place, clamper is shunk and clamp or open and form.
The free end of each arm is equipped with rubber pad, this rubber pad be positioned to the neck that to be ready being applied to go-ahead container filling on the carousel on the lateral cylindrical shape part direct contact ground of lid cooperate.
The geometric configuration that part of the rubber part that is designed to cooperate with lid is curved substantially, have with current use in the profile that matees basically of the outside lateral profile of lid.
Rubber pad is fixed to adapter usually; This adapter will be installed on the dependency structure spare of respective clamp device arm by means of two or more fix screws; Thereby can the adapter of its dismounting gripper pad that also possible constructions is different be replaced; That is to say, available have with the adapter of the gripper pad of the shape of the gripper pad that adapter had that disassembles from arm and/or dissimilar shape of size and/or size replace, perhaps; Under the situation of wearing and tearing or damage, replace with new adapter with architectural feature identical with the adapter that disassembles.
Although the holding device that uses at present can be applied to lid on the container satisfactorily; The applicant finds that still they are not completely without shortcoming and can improve in many aspects; Mainly be the adapter with rubber pad is disassembled and ressembles from the arm of clamper the simplicity and the practicality aspect of the operation on the arm; The needed time of step that also is to carry out dismounting and ressembles adapter, and with these dismountings with ressemble the disadvantage on the relevant cost of operation.
Particularly, the dismounting of aforementioned adapter and ressemble operation and comprise that each arm for each clamping element of working on the capping unit in using at present need unclamp or fastening two or more fix screw.Therefore, quite a large amount of clampers is arranged usually on traditional capping unit, and thereby the single arm of quite a large amount of corresponding adapters of carrying arranged, these dismountings and the process of ressembling is often quite very long and some is unrealistic in work.In fact, such process need comprises and unclamps singly or tighten all tightening screws that had on the arm of each holding device.When needs change the production size; In other words; Promptly change on the clamper of given capping unit the conversion of adapter that has other existing rubber pad of different size and shape in all that use at needs; Be suitable for handling structurally with previous production in during used those dissimilar lids, aforesaid operations just shows even bigger burden.In the present example; Size conversion need double the time of direct replacing required time; Because pulling down all fix screws, this process need comes to dismantle fully all existing adapters, then the adapter of the lid of location institute's new size that is useful on or form and tighten the needed all fix screws of adapter that clamping is reorientated once more.
When because thereby rubber gasket abrasion and performance reduce the adapter that initially is installed on gripper arm need come to upgrade fully through the adapter that assembling has a replacing of new rubber pad the time, again identical problem can take place.
In addition; The said capping unit of prior art is very complicated; Can and/or ressemble required working space and limit to some extent the dismounting that realizes adapter, its result tends to make that employing such as traditional instruments such as key, corkscrew, equipment and/or instrument carry out unclamps and/or the task of tightening tightening screw receives and hinders and thereby want last very long.
At last, only will be understood that and when capping unit is not worked, could carry out these tasks.Really, be through supspending the running that whole packaging process stops capping unit in practice.Self-explantoryly be that when the adapter of each holding device need be changed or upgrade, this operation meeting caused tangible influence to the cost as the capping container of the part of overall manufacturing cost.
In order to overcome the shortcoming that is associated with the adapter of dismantling and/or ressemble these clampers; General convention is to obtain the closure assemblies of wide range; These closure assemblies are equipped the parts of the cover configuration of promising different size and form; Thereby when needs carry out size conversion or upgrade wearing parts, can realize such operation more simply through changing whole clamp assemblies rather than single adapter.Adopt such strategy, in instantaneous, have no progeny and to recover the operation of capping unit more quickly, and can change at leisure the adapter such as the required ground of any assembly of taking off from manufacturing line.But, prepare many cover clamper assemblies, every cover is exclusively used in special lid size, but only is the shortest for floor time in the production cycle is reduced to, and its cost is seen on economy to be very expensive and almost not to have what benefit.
Summary of the invention
Main purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problem that is associated with prior art.
One object of the present invention particularly provides a kind of holding device that is used for closure assemblies; Such as no matter being in order to realize that lid from a kind of size or form to alternative conversion or in order to upgrade the part that wearing and tearing or performance reduce, all can be convenient to and accelerate the operation of the adapter of replacing clamping device.
Another purpose of the present invention is to reduce significantly usually owing to change the cost that traditional holding device caused, and shortening must the time gap of breaks in production circulation to change.
Said purpose and other purpose can become clearer in the description of this specification sheets; Basically these purposes have been realized according to the present invention at a kind of holding device that is used for closure assemblies; Above-mentioned closure assemblies particularly is assembled to the sort of closure assemblies on the capping unit of the machine that is used for packing container, in the characteristic of claim 1, has narrated the principal character of above-mentioned holding device.

In general; Be designed to keep various types of products; For example the container of liquid state, viscosity, creaminess, glue and/or powdered substance is (not shown at the machine that is equipped with at least one capping unit 1a; Be traditional machine in the present embodiment) go up can and sealing, the part of capping unit 1a has been shown in Fig. 1 and 2, this capping unit 1a automatically is assembled to lid or top (not shown) and is ready on the osed top corresponding container (not shown).
Such capping unit 1a is equipped with a plurality of closure assemblies 2 (Fig. 1,2 and 4) usually; These closure assemblies 2 are installed in supporting structure in other words on the carousel 1b along periphery; And the circumferential hoop on preferably vertical pivot center of being arranged to center, the supporting structure part of carousel 1b in other words has been shown in Fig. 1 and 2.Each capping unit 1a preferably is equipped with the suitable drive mechanism (not shown), this actuating device make relevant structure in other words carousel 1b rotate around aforementioned vertical axis with the closure assemblies that is associated 2.
Advantageously; Each closure assemblies 2 has at least one fixed part (not shown in the accompanying drawings) and at least one moving part 3; Fixed part can be fastened on the supporting structure 1b of relevant capping unit 1a; Moving part then can motion of translation, and it can slide between away from the primary importance of corresponding container and the second place near container on the fixed part.The moving part 3 of each closure assemblies 2 can also be gone up at the longitudinal axis " X " of himself and rotate, and is screwed on the corresponding container thereby can the spiral lid be changeed by single assembly.
Shown in Fig. 1 to 3, but holding device 1 according to the present invention is associated away from aforementioned fixation free end 3a place of working partly with the moving part 3 of relevant closure assemblies 2.Particularly; Holding device 1 according to the present invention comprises at least one clamper 4; But clamper 4 is associated with corresponding closure assemblies 2 places of working, and can on the assembly in clamping with fix between the cooperation position of lid and the rest position that does not cooperate any lid mobile.
Clamper 4 is equipped with at least two keeping arms 5, and each keeping arm has at least one framing member that is attached to corresponding closure assemblies 2 pivotly 6.
In the example shown in Fig. 1 and 2, clamper 4 advantageously is equipped with three such keeping arms 5, and these three keeping arms are spaced apart around longitudinal axis " X " equal angles of closure assemblies 2, that is to say 120 ° of each intervals.
What it will be understood that is; Under any circumstance; Protection scope of the present invention all receives the restriction of the quantity of the arm 5 that is combined in the clamper 4 never in any form, the quantity of arm 5 can be quantitatively more than describe with graphic three, therefore spaced apart with angle equal angles less than 120 °.
Like Fig. 1, shown in 2 and 4, the framing member 6 of each keeping arm 5 preferably through relevant pivot 7 on the head 3b of the moving part 3 that is hinged to relevant closure assemblies 2 on the position that is essentially middle along its length.Like this, the framing member 6 of each arm 5 just can be swung on the axis of pivot 7 formed preferably levels.
Advantageously; As shown in Figure 4; But by the place of working be plugged in each framing member 6 top 6a and can the collar 3c of vertical slip between connecting rod mechanism 8 cause the oscillating motion of framing member 6, but above-mentioned collar 3c place of working that can vertical slip is contained among the recess 3d that the head 3b of the moving part 3 that is associated with closure assemblies 2 provided.
Particularly, connecting rod mechanism 8 comprises bar 9, and the first end 9a of this bar 9 is hinged on the top 6a of framing member 6 of corresponding arm 5, and the second end 8b is hinged on the collar 3c.But collar 3c place of working is connected in the setting element 10 of the head 3b below that is arranged on corresponding closure assemblies 2.Setting element 10 has limiting surface 10a at, the end face mutual action of the lid that this limiting surface 10a is designed to be kept with clamper, thus towards the moving part 3 of corresponding closure assemblies 2, promptly upwards oppress axle collar 3c.Upwards sliding of axle collar 3c causes angular transposition in each root bar 9, this angular transposition causes corresponding arm 5 on its pivot 7, to be swung the head 3b that the top 6a of dependency structure spare 6 pushes away the moving part 3 that is connected in closure assemblies 2.On the contrary, when setting element 10 can turn back to its initial position, collar 3c will be shifted downwards, and consequently the top 6a of framing member 6 is retracted by bar 9 headward 3b, cause corresponding arm 5 on its pivot 7, to be swung once more.
Referring to Fig. 1 and 2, cause all arms 5 of clamper 4 on their pivot, to be swung simultaneously with the upward movement of the caused setting element 10 of the mutual action of lid, consequently the free end of these arms closes on the lid and with lid and maintains tightly.On the other hand, under the interactional situation that has no with lid, the arm 5 of clamper 4 can open and appear aforesaid rest position simultaneously.
Like what from accompanying drawing, can find out; Each keeping arm 5 all is equipped with the contact member 11 that removably is associated with relevant framing member 6 at the place, end away from the head 3b of closure assemblies 2; When this contact member 11 is positioned in clamper 4 and is in aforementioned cooperation position; Promptly when the framing member 6 of causes arm 5 is swung on its pivot by moving up of setting element 10, with the direct mutual action laterally of lid.
For the framing member 6 that keeps each keeping arm 5 firmly and reliably is associated with contact member 11 each other; Each arm 5 is equipped with automatic locking apparatus 12 (Fig. 3,5 and 6), and this automatic locking apparatus 12 makes it cooperate when contact member 11 is provided to framing member 6 and tightly maintains.
Advantageously, can operate automatic locking apparatus 12, to discharge contact member 11 from framing member 6 and they to be separated through two parts are spaced apart from each other from the outside of clamper.
Preferably; Said automatic locking apparatus 12 comprises snap lock mechanism; Thereby when contact member 11 and corresponding structure part 6 are placed to a time-out; These two parts can automatically tighten together, need not any such as tightening screw any additional lock out action or carry out other cooresponding fastening operation.
Particularly, automatic locking apparatus 12 comprises first locking piece 13 that is associated with framing member 6 and second locking piece 14 that is associated with contact member 11.First locking piece 13 automatically makes up with the element 11 of keeping in touch with second locking piece 14 and is associated with relevant framing member 6, and can be for example exterior mechanical pressure separates with being forced so that the connection each other of these two parts is broken off and made them spaced apart through applying.
In a preferred embodiment; First locking piece 13 comprises at least one connection element 13a; But connection element 13a is associated with corresponding structure part 6 places of working, and second locking piece 14 has at least one 14a of connection seat portion, and the 14a of connection seat portion is combined in the contact member 11.Connection element 13a is shifted between the primary importance and the second place; In primary importance; Contact member 11 can towards or move away from relevant framing member 6, and in the second place, at least in part through this connection element 13a stop contact member 11 towards or move away from framing member 6.
According to the solution shown in Fig. 5 and 6, but first locking piece 13 comprises the connection element 13a that at least one pair of and relevant framing member 6 places of working are associated, and second locking piece 14 comprises that at least one is combined in the 14a of connection seat portion in the relevant contact member 11 simultaneously.
As illustrated in Figures 5 and 6, each connection element 13a occupies a common plane basically, and on the both sides of the predetermined axial line that is denoted as " Y ", has the profile of symmetry, thereby limits coupling yoke, and the free end of this coupling yoke is assembled towards diad " Y ".Under the situation of the contemplated locking action type of maintenance; Each 14a of connection seat portion occupies a common plane equally basically, and preferably is attached to the profile that has symmetry on the both sides of the predetermined axial line that 6 last times of corresponding structure part will overlap with the diad " Y " of connection element 13a at contact member 11.
Advantageously; Connection element 13a can replace between the primary importance and the second place; In primary importance; Connection element 13a open each other and contact member 11 fully can towards or move away from relevant framing member 6, and in the second place, stop at least in part contact member 11 towards or moving away from framing member 6.
In more detail, at least one among the connection element 13a and preferably two all be elastically deformable, and at least one and preferably (Fig. 3,5 and 6) in two rigid elements 15 that all can be combined in contact member 11 among the 14a of connection seat portion.Thereby, when contact member 11 towards or when moving away from relevant framing member 6, owing to separated by the strong hand by contact member 11, connection element 13a can move on to the second place from primary importance.When blocking device assembles and free end when being arranged in the relevant 14a of connection seat portion; Perhaps separate and free end when no longer running into the resistance from rigid element 15 when blocking device with the 14a of connection seat portion, two connection element 13a since their elasticity of form ground recover and all can move on to primary importance from the second place.
Like Fig. 3, shown in 5 and 6, but first locking piece, 13 places of working are contained in the pod 16 that relevant framing member 6 provided away from the bottom 6b of aforementioned top 6a.Second locking piece 14 preferably be associated (Fig. 2 and 3) with the protuberance 17 that contact member 11 is provided.
Have in order to ensure time in the relevant framing member 6 that inserts each arm 5 at contact member 11 to connect action accurately, the aforementioned pod 16 and the protuberance 16 of two parts form the profile with interlocking basically.With like this, between the pod 16 of the protuberance 17 of contact member 11 and framing member 6, guarantee preferably to closely cooperate.
Preferably, the rigid element 15 of the 14a of connection seat portion being provided is that the protuberance 17 of the contact member 11 of being correlated with has.Advantageously, the protuberance 17 of each contact member 11 is same with the rigid element 15 with the 14a of connection seat portion effectively.
With reference to the example shown in Fig. 2 and 3, the pod 16 of each framing member 6 has a plurality of internal cavity 16a and a plurality of inner fin 16b, their combinations and form the irregular in-profile curl up shape basically.Similarly; The protuberance 17 of corresponding contact member 11 has a plurality of outside fin 17a and a plurality of outside cavity 17b, the pod 16 of fit structure spare 6 was had when they were positioned in contact member 11 respectively and are connected in framing member 6 internal cavity 16a and inner fin 16b.
Because outside fin 17a that the protuberance 17 of the internal cavity 16a that had of pod 16 and inner fin 16b and coupling is had and the interlocked usefulness of outside cavity 17b, contact member 11 and connection between the relevant framing member 6 are endowed highly stable and to the very big resistibility of the common centnifugal force that during the step that lid is screwed on the container, produces.
Still referring to accompanying drawing, each contact member 11 has the adjacent part 18 of supporting, and this neighbour supports part 18 and is designed to align with mating surfaces 19 around the pod 16 of framing member 6.
For the ease of the operation that contact member 11 is separated from corresponding structure part 6; The adjacent part 18 of supporting has at least one lateral slot 18a; Preferably have a plurality of lateral slot 18a; Thereby balance pivot is provided, and contact member 11 can be oppressed along the direction away from relevant framing member 6 by means of this balance pivot.More precisely, like what can see among Fig. 1 to 4, each groove 18a is supported the surface of part 18 and is attached to 6 last times of framing member by the mating surfaces 19 of framing member 6 at contact member 11 by the neighbour and defines.
For from relevant framing member 6 dismounting contact members 11, must insert adjacent at least one groove 18a that supports part 18 such as the utensil easily of corkscrew etc. or the end of manipulative device, can apply thus from framing member 6 and remove contact members 11 necessary power.In other words, the surface of each groove 18a provides corresponding supporting, and proper tools capable of using is honoured against these contact member 11 is applied leverage from the end that its framing member that is associated 6 splits.
Advantageously, each contact member 11 has clamping adapter 20, and clamping adapter 20 removably is attached to adjacent that side of supporting part 18 away from protuberance 17.Clamping adapter 20 has at least one structural constituent 20a; It (is traditional in force that structural constituent 20a can use one or more screwing elements; Thereby not shown) be fastened to the neighbour on part 18; But the screwing element place of working is inserted and to be passed corresponding perforate 21a and 21b, and these perforates 21a and 21b preferably are provided with screw thread, and provide to part 18 that side away from protuberance 17 by the structural constituent 20a of adapter 20 with by the neighbour respectively.
As shown in the figure, each clamping adapter 20 also has contact mat 20b, and this contact mat 20b preferably is embodied as the material with great friction coefficient, and such as rubber etc., it is designed to cooperate the outside face of the specific lid that adopts aborning.
Advantageously, each control pad 20 has curved surfaces, and the outer side of the lid that is suitable for being processed and assembling is to curved shape.Contact mat 20b preferably is co-molded to single-piece with structural constituent 20a, thereby obtains the parts of one.
According to the present invention, overcome the shortcoming that is associated with prior art, and correspondingly realized described purpose.At first be that the system of automatically locking that is combined in each arm of clamper can be attached to framing member rapidly and simply with the contact member that has selecteed contact mat, and can separate contact member fast and easily from framing member with primary.Particularly, comprised automatic locking apparatus, by means of suitable utensil or instrument such as corkscrew etc., contact member can split with adapter that is associated and contact mat rather simply.In fact, support one of groove that part provided through the neighbour who corkscrew is inserted the contact member be assemblied in each arm from a side, and twist terminally, just can exert pressure inner commentaries on classics of groove, just can with contact member prize leave its attached framing member.On the contrary, in order contact member to be attached on the framing member of relevant gripper arm, can simply this contact member to be provided on the framing member and to push and put in place.Propelling thrust can manually apply, but this propelling thrust must be enough to overcome the resistibility of insertion of protuberance of the connection element opposing contact member of the pod that is positioned at framing member.In case the connection element of yoke is given way in the power that applies through contact member, their meeting bendings are also opened, and allow protuberance to penetrate pod fully and correctly.In this case, connection element can engage and puts in place, occupies the connection seat portion of automatic locking apparatus, and thereby contact member is fixed on the structural constituent of relevant gripper arm.
Self-explantory is that the locking system that employing is disclosed can greatly quicken and simplify the process that changes to another size or form from the lid of a size or form, also can change the contact mat that wearing and tearing or performance reduce smoothly.
The effect of accelerating these operations is to have saved the time significantly, and thereby can reduce the cost that capping is filled with the container of liquid or powder-product significantly.
What people also will appreciate that is through on contact member, groove being arranged to be easy to touch, also can quicken the more related operation of changer adapter similarly.In addition, when on three sides at each arm of each clamper device groove being set, apply essential power with regard to releasably locking mechanism from three different positions.
